Stories abounded last month that a small girl had caught a big barramundi in North Queensland, and it appears that tyke Charlotte Muller may have a world record on her hands!

Aussie Girl Catches Big Barramundi

Caught on Feb 18 at Lake Tinaroo (Atherton Tablelands, FNQ) after a 35 minute battle this big Barra weighed in at 25 kg (55lbs). Charlotte's big barra catch is currently being considered by the International Game Fishing Association (IGFA) as a possible record catch for a child aged 10 years or younger.

The Current IGFA record for a Barramundi is 45 kg (98 lbs) and the current record for a Barramundi caught by a child is 12 kg (26 lbs).
